Boxster v. Corvette

Looked at a 2004 Corvette this weekend because I have gotten kind of depressed about all the negativity on this forum re IMS, slipped sleeves, D-chunks, etc. etc. Still scared my Boxster will blow up, but I just can't do the 'Vette. Didn't even drive it because I just hated the interior -- the experience was like sitting in a Cadillac made out of cheap vinyl. Less headroom than the Boxster, and I have no idea how you would tell where the front end of the car is. The steering wheel just feels loose and doesn't look sporting to me. And the Corvette's body is just tooooooo wide for me. I'm sure it would blow the doors off my 2.5L, but frankly speed just isn't that important to me. Still, I wanted to like the 'Vette so it was kind of disappointing, although my wife refers to the 'Vette as a redneck car and prefers the Porsche anyway.
